Part of  Ge problemen på foten in Må Bra 10/2013

Most of foot problems may be results of bad shoes, foot specialist Thomas Niegerman tells the Swedish magazine Må Bra. He means that body parts we're burden at most are the same body parts we're exercising least. We also delimit function of the foot by using trendy shoes, insoles and rounded shoes, as we believe it'll solve the problems.

Knee-, hip- and backproblems are connected to feet, he says. Oblique, weak or misaligned feet propagate upwards. He tells that foot's impact centre is in the middle of the heel.That's where you're going to encumber, A lot of people are wrong out here, they encumber the back of the heel. It's also important to keep ones spine erected and rotating, at the same time as arms should swing back and forth.

Our feet have looked like they do in 3,5 million years and is made for walking barefoot and to be able to grip the ground. Nature people whose not using shoes do not have problems of hallux valgus, hammer toe and heel spur, says Thomas Niegerman,

Shoes should be flat, soft and wide in front, so that there are room for toes to waggle, Niegerman says. But it is of course okay to use high heels at a party from time to time. It is the every day shoe that influence the foot the most.
